Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Michael E. Weale mainly focuses on Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Candidate gene and Genetic association. Allele frequency, Linkage disequilibrium, Gene expression profiling, Genetic variation and Allele are among the areas of Genetics where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. To a larger extent, he studies Gene with the aim of understanding Genome-wide association study.

His study explores the link between Single-nucleotide polymorphism and topics such as Haplotype that cross with problems in Lactase persistence. His studies in Candidate gene integrate themes in fields like Copy-number variation, Human genetics, Disease, Psychiatric genetics and Genetic architecture. The Genetic association study combines topics in areas such as Psoriasis and Innate immune system.

His most cited work include:

  • A Whole-Genome Association Study of Major Determinants for Host Control of HIV-1 (1068 citations)
  • A Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Psoriasis Susceptibility Loci and an Interaction Between HLA-C and ERAP1 (768 citations)
  • Identification of 15 new psoriasis susceptibility loci highlights the role of innate immunity (644 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Michael E. Weale mostly deals with Genetics, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Gene. His Genetics study focuses mostly on Haplotype, Linkage disequilibrium, Allele, Allele frequency and Expression quantitative trait loci. His Genome-wide association study research incorporates elements of Bioinformatics, Immune system, Immunology, Disease and Locus.

His Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Human genome and Polymorphism. His Genetic association study also includes fields such as

  • Computational biology together with Genome,
  • Candidate gene which intersects with area such as Genetic predisposition. His Gene study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neuroscience and Human brain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (56.44%)
  • Genome-wide association study (33.74%)
  • Single-nucleotide polymorphism (27.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Genome-wide association study (33.74%)
  • Disease (8.59%)
  • Immunology (6.13%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Michael E. Weale mainly investigates Genome-wide association study, Disease, Immunology, Genetics and Genetic association. His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of SNP, Biobank, Bioinformatics, Polymorphism and Immune system. Michael E. Weale usually deals with Disease and limits it to topics linked to Genetic correlation and Pathological and Medical genetics.

He has researched Immunology in several fields, including Immunogenetics, Renal allograft and Informatics. The Genetics study combines topics in areas such as Dentate gyrus, Subiculum and Selection. His Genetic association study results in a more complete grasp of Single-nucleotide polymorphism.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume (160 citations)
  • Novel genetic loci underlying human intracranial volume identified through genome-wide association (146 citations)
  • Genetic analysis in UK Biobank links insulin resistance and transendothelial migration pathways to coronary artery disease. (116 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Genetics
  • Mutation

Michael E. Weale spends much of his time researching Genome-wide association study, Immunology, Neuroscience, Disease and Gene. His Genome-wide association study research is classified as research in Genetics. Michael E. Weale interconnects Dentate gyrus, Hippocampal formation, Alzheimer's disease and Episodic memory in the investigation of issues within Genetics.

His studies examine the connections between Neuroscience and genetics, as well as such issues in Gene regulatory network, with regards to Epilepsy syndromes, Expression quantitative trait loci, Hippocampal sclerosis and Transcriptome. His Disease research incorporates themes from Multiple sclerosis, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetic association and Drug development. His research in Gene intersects with topics in Transport protein and Protein aggregation.
